Heavy machinery can tear up a lawn or sports field in a hurry, even if the ground is only a little damp. For protection for the grass against the tires or tread on construction equipment, install the ground mats for heavy equipment from Greatmats.


These mats consist of highly durable materials that can support a load of up to 120 tons. They’re perfect for creating a temporary road to keep the grass in functional condition after you complete the construction work.

Size and Shape Options

Our ground mats for heavy equipment measure 2 by 8 feet, which makes them a little easier to handle than wider mats. One or two people should have no problem when trying to haul these 43-pound mats into and out of storage.

These rectangular ground mats for heavy equipment for sale are sized to fit in the back of a pickup, which simplifies transporting them to the location of the installation.

Material Options

These polyethylene plastic mats support significant amounts of weight without buckling, which means you can install them over the top of grass, mud, sand, or other soft types of ground.


This material is so long lasting and trustworthy that the manufacturer offers a limited lifetime warranty on the mats.

We source these ground mats for heavy equipment from a manufacturer in the United States who uses recycled polyethylene plastic to make them. These mats are an eco-friendly option, as they keep older plastic out of the landfill.

Because these mats are reusable over and over, they are a far more preferable option than the plywood that many construction teams use around the worksite to create access roads. That plywood is going to become water-logged and splintered, meaning it will end up as waste in the landfill. Our reusable construction mats are the far better choice for the environment.

Pattern and Texture Options

As vehicles move across the tops of these mats, chances are they will leave mud and moisture behind. These materials can leave the top of the mat slippery, making it challenging to move vehicles safely.


Our mats are available with a textured pattern and smooth surface on them to provide traction in wet conditions. Customers can pick mats that have a diamond tread pattern on both sides, smooth surface on both sides or diamond surface one side and smooth surface on the other sides.

These all-black mats will not allow sunlight to penetrate the material and reach the ground underneath. If you need to keep the turf under the mats alive, you will want to pick up the mats every day or two to allow sunlight to reach the plants. You also can use our transparent ground mats for heavy equipment for this purpose.

Common Use Options

Because these mats allow the spreading of the weight of the heavy vehicle, they work well any place workers will be moving big machinery over potentially soft ground.


Construction companies are the most frequent users of these mats, as they can create roads throughout the construction site. The mat is a better option than spreading gravel or using plywood sheets.

City parks, utility maintenance teams, cemetery maintenance teams, and tree trimming services often will use our mats to create a roadway into a remote area of the property.

At a school, the maintenance team may place these mats over the top of the track oval, protecting the surface from vehicles working on the football or soccer field inside the oval. When players wearing cleats are moving from the locker room to the field, these mats also protect the track from foot traffic.

Installation Options

Installing these large mats is an easy process. Just lay them end to end to create a row of mats. You do not need to attach them to the ground.


To create a roadway for wider vehicles, just lay the mats in adjacent rows. Each row can accommodate the tires on either side of the vehicle. Otherwise, a single row of these 2-foot wide mats can create a roadway for a small vehicle, like a four-wheeler, that is towing a large weight.

Some customers will lay the mats side by side, creating a roadway that’s 8 feet wide for extremely large vehicles. You will need a significant number of mats to complete the roadway, though.

If desired, installers can connect the mats to each other using links or connectors made specifically for these mats. If the ground is extremely soft or uneven underneath, connecting the mats is a smart idea to enhance performance.

Cleaning and Maintenance Requirements

Because these are made for outdoor use, cleaning our ground mats for heavy equipment is an easy process. Customers can rinse the surface of the plastic with a garden hose and sprayer nozzle to remove bits of grass and mud. A power washer is another option for cleaning them.

Note: Not intended for use under steel tracks or as a landing area for dropping tree limbs.

Maintenance

Clean using a pressure washer or garden hose and non-metal scrub brush.
